Five more years to go.

Go where? I have a friend eating eatery-leftover at 43 and at 47, he recently bought a landed property next to the eatery he was scrapping from. He only learned a handiwork and got a huge contract from a local political big-boy from the hood.

Maybe it doesn't happen every day to everybody but miracles happen to some people sometimes.

Foreign Affairs / Re: Moscow Has Forgiven $23billion Debts Owed By African Countries – Putin by Canvass: 10:49pm On Jul 28, 2023
ManirBK:
president Putin means Business to africa God punished America and the Western countries group

There is something special about Africa that we Africans still don't understand. Why have they all, world leaders, been fighting for the soul of Africa since they made contact?

To me, Africa seem like a soccer ball that 22 players run to possess but it's oblivious of it's value. If we knew why they want us so bad, we'll make them crawl and beg and not just forgive our superficial debt.

Don't be smart by half, Mr Spokesman. Everyone knows these institutions are still tuition-free but you've found a way of introducing a little tuition by padding up fees.
Within 60 days in office, your administration has removed subsidies on fuel, education, and health, after deregulating the naira. You've also prioritized the comfort of those in the various arms of government over people's interests.

Food / Re: Is This Fact About Boiled/roasted Corn True? by Canvass: 1:10pm On Jul 26, 2023
Based on the Agbadorian Principle, corn must be sold on or around a gutter. Show me a corn seller comfortable enough to rent a shop and package corn selling properly to make a good profit margin and I'll show you who told them to always sell corn on or around a gutter. If you don't want gutter corn, just opt for pop-corn. Shikena.

Well, in response to CAN, here is why subsidy had to go, and why keeping it would have brought even more harsh issues on Nigeria

(DISCLAIMER:

I AM NOT A APC SUPPORTER
I DON'T SUPPORT PDP OR LP
I DON'T BACK TINUBU, NOR HAVE I VOTED FOR HIM
I HAVE SUPPORTED SUBSIDY REMOVAL SINCE 2012
I DID NOT WANT APC TO WIN IN 2023, AND AM ANGRY WITH TINUBU FOR NOT SUPPORTING SUBSIDY REMOVAL IN 2012, BECAUSE IF HE HAD WE MIGHT HAVE HAD ALL THE PROBLEMS WE HAD SORTED OUT LONG TIME AGO.).


With that out of the way, here we go.



Source:

Removing subsidies on petrol and allied products importation is no longer the issue now. It is the quiet removal of subsidies on education and health, plus the devaluation of the Naira all in the space of less than 100 days. Yet we await a tariff hike in electricity and the re-introduction of suspended taxes on future dates.

I thought the removal of subsidies on petrol is to free up funds for other essential subsidies to be retained. Now I understand it is to free up more funds for the political elites to buy bullet-proof cars and maintain their luxurious lifestyles, while they throw N8000 at the people as palliative.
Sports / Re: Cristiano Ronaldo: "Saudi League Is Better Than MLS". by Canvass: 11:31am On Jul 18, 2023
Almiron:
I remember when this mumu moved to the Camel’s League last season, Messi didn’t utter a word, cos he’s not in other people’s business. This clown can’t hide his jealousy anymore, cos Leo recently moved to the MLS suddenly in his myopic mind Desert League is better than MLS lmao.

He also took a shot at the European league, yet his team was just demolished by a struggling Spanish mid-table team Celta Vigo. 🤣😂

Blud thinks he influenced other players to come to the camel’s league, someone should wake this dunce up that they came for the money, Abi na him Dey pay em. Who doesn’t like free money, expect Leo wey turn down a Saudi’s club offer, wey surpass the one wey e Dey earns at Nasiru fc.

Messi don already dwarf this modafucka, his greatest achievement in his footballing career will be “He was compared to Leo Messi”.

Same with his deluding fan base here on Nairaland and Twitter bots.

I think Messi is a better player but I don't think jealousy has a lot to do with Ronaldo's statements. These guys are professionals and they do what they need to do to get paid. Ronaldo may pale in comparison to Messi but he has also achieved a lot and it's an accomplishment to be mentioned in the same breath as Messi, hence he is an excellent advert tool. I see this more from a business perspective. Ronaldo knows he's spewing nonsense but PR for the Saudi League is part of his job and he's only trying to do what he's paid for.

When Beckham moved to MLS back then, others moved en-mass too and MLS became attractive. China and Japan have tried this same move before. Saudi has been trying the move for a while now but they could only attract African top players like Okocha, Ighalo, and Cameroon's Abubakar. The move is finally working for Saudi now and MLS responded by dragging Messi across the Atlantic Ocean just to maintain its share of the market.

You may be right though, because no one can know the heart of man. This is just how I see the drama.

Even if he's the singer, does that stop him from practicing his vocation? There is no shame in hard work. He sang because he is creative and not cos he was looking for a political appointment. Kudos, bro.

Jogs1900:

Why are you emotional now? Even from the report excluding Lagos, Ibadan electricity is above Enugu, Pharcourt, etc distribution companies.

It shows that the SW excluding Lagos is the most industrialized southern region.

Do not exclude Lagos from South West. If the Federal Government and the Aboriginal people of Lagos recognize Lagos as SW, why should you bend to the sentiments of a non-state actor? Akinnolu, the Oba of Lagos and Sanwoolu, the Governor of Lagos both answer Yoruba names. If they are looking for their commonwealth, they should look to Abuja which has appointed minister as the administrator and not Lagos which would always be governed by a Yoruba man.

Education / Re: Mmesoma Ejikeme Opens Up After JAMB Accused Her Of Forging JAMB Result by Canvass: 12:42pm On Jul 04, 2023
nairalanda1:


The process starts from Basic 9, when the clever students are funnelled into the science courses, and the rest are sent to do other stuff.

I saw it in my own secondary school. All the highest scorers in Junior WAEC/JSCE went to read science

It isn't just the schools, it is the parents and even your peers.

Funnily enough, one of my clever mates chose not to read science. We wer elooking at him as if he was weird.




Because that is where the jobs are.

Seriously, read the 'Vacancies' section of the newspapers. Or check online. The jobs that don't ask for 5 years or 10 years experience are Medicine, and Computing.

Also, brilliant kids are told...you must aim for medicine. (That's how Chiamanda Adiche suffered two years in UNN Medical school until she escpaed to read English Lit in Harvard). It does not matter if you want to read something else...you are brilliant, read medicine.





Yeah, because those are the TOP universities. And they choose Ibadan too.

(I say this as someone who never went to any one of those unis)

Plus Unilorin for many years was the only public uni that was not going on strike with ASUU (Long story...local ASUU branch had beef with the national branch). Naturally, students ran there.





Well, most of the students are rarely over 21 years old in the first place...if we started making it about age.




I doubt it, seriously.




We hope so.

I am compelled to listen to your arguments even if I still have my doubts about some of the answers you provided. Your responses to each point are sound. I particularly agree with your points about chosen courses and institutions. it seems a deliberate and systemic thing to find the smartest students vying for science-oriented courses. However, law students are supposed to be just as smart too. Why is none of them breaking the ceiling since 2017?

The girl looks nerdy and innocent. She doesn't look like someone that will willingly or knowingly forge results. I hope she doesn't get penalized over something she knows nothing about

Even if we overlook the girl's exterior look, countenance, and track record and think there are some smart chaps doing wonders on the keyboard somewhere, I still think JAMB may be hiding something.

I wrote UTME for 5 consecutive years, from 2017 to 2021, and here is the pattern I found;

1. Science students consistently get the top 10 highest scores every year. Does that imply there are no excellent commercial and art students in this country or JAMB is deliberate about promoting STEM at the expense of other courses?

2. The top ten highest scorers mostly choose a handful of courses namely: Medicine, Engineering, and Computer Science.

3. The top ten highest scorers mostly choose a handful of schools namely: Covenant University and a sprinkle of federal universities especially Unilag, UNN, OAU, Uniben, and Unilorin.

4. The top ten highest scorers are rarely over 21 years old.

The above pattern made me believe there is a Censoring System JAMB adopts before results are released and that applicants do not get to see their raw or exact scores but the adjusted scores. If that is the case, JAMB possibly experienced a glitch with this issue and they are unwilling to take the knock as that would not only damage the trust in the institution, it would be a dent in the Registrar's sterling record and impeccable image.
I pray all well-meaning Nigerians to push the diligent forensic investigation into this matter.

Romance / Re: Females On Average Usually Have Higher Body Counts Than Males by Canvass: 7:06am On Jul 03, 2023
You did not put the age range. On average, most females start getting exposed to sex from the age of 13 and they easily get sexual partners until the age of 25-30 when they become acutely aware of their biological clocks. However, males start grooving at 19 and keep grooving until around 40 when they start slowing down.
Marriage and childbearing slow women down significantly while only financial muscle is the only constraint for men going forward, barring health concerns for both genders.
In the short term, women may have greater body count but in the long term, men usually have higher body count.

So far so good, Nigeria under Tinubu has been tilting towards the West while most other African countries are tilting towards China and Russia. He has been doing everything IMF, World Bank and WEF have stipulated. No more fuel subsidy, power subsidy to go, taxes coming up e.g. diesel vat tax increase, devaluing Naira etc. I don't see them killing him so soon. He's doing their bids.
